"On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Iodophor and Hydrogen Peroxide"
Iodophor and hydrogen peroxide are both common products for medical disinfection. The two have their own shortcomings in the field of disinfection effect and application, and the world has a desire to debate their advantages and disadvantages.
Iodophor is mild in nature and slightly irritates the skin mucosa. Its disinfection ability can remove common bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. It can be used in damaged skin and mucous membranes, and the effect is long-lasting, and it can inhibit the growth of pathogens for a long time. Its color is brown and yellow. After applying, traces are easy to stay, but this is not a big problem.
And hydrogen peroxide, commonly known as hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidation. In case of wounds, it can quickly decompose oxygen, produce bubbles, and can remove dirt and foreign bodies from the wound. It is especially suitable for deep wounds and can prevent the growth of anaerobic bacteria. However, its irritation is relatively large, and when it is used to damage the skin and mucous membranes, patients often feel pain. And its effect is short-lived and needs to be reused in a timely manner.
If it is a superficial wound, iodophor is more suitable, because it is mild and less irritating, which is conducive to wound healing. And deep wounds, or suspected anaerobic bacteria infection, hydrogen peroxide is more advantageous, which can effectively clean and inhibit anaerobic bacteria.
Doctors should use drugs according to the injury and location. Neither iodophor nor hydrogen peroxide is good. Only by using it rationally can we maximize its effectiveness and benefit the recovery of patients.
